5 Things Lexus NEEDS for Next-Gen F Models: (Fridays are for F Presented by Continental ExtremeContact DWS^{06 Plus})

4. Better Tech & Ergonomics

Lexus often defines the luxury auto market, delivering exciting visual cues as well as sublime touch surfaces. Honestly, it’s really hard to beat Lexus seats and interiors. But Lexus infotainment systems, though improving, are years behind the competition. Add in special editions that cost thousands more than the base model, but delete features like ventilated seats. And sometimes Lexus goes off and builds four-seaters that are actually roadsters-in-disguise.

We’d love to see Lexus take their tech a step further from what they’ve done this model year and make them as modern as possible. Say goodbye to the touchpad. Boost screen resolutions. Give us adjustable suspension settings with more variation. Add adaptive exhaust and vehicle customization wherever possible. We’d also love to see four-seaters with room for, you know, four passengers, or just make them roadsters.
